- the colorimeter further comprises at least two Aufpickan extracten for detecting the measuring light from different real Boebachtungsraumen.
- Measurement arrangement is understood to mean the entirety of those components of the color measuring device which serve to illuminate a measuring spot on the surface of a measuring object and to detect the light reflected back from this measuring spot and to convert it into corresponding electrical signals.
- Device standards is a device-fixed (imaginary) line to understand, which stands in the practical use of the colorimeter (ideally) perpendicular to the surface of the measurement object and defines the center of the measuring spot.
- Real illumination direction is the direction in which the measurement spot is illuminated.
- “real observation direction” is understood to mean the direction from which the measurement light reflected back from the measurement spot is picked.
- nominal illumination directions and “nominal directions of observation” are understood to mean those illumination or observation directions for which the colorimeter is designed in accordance with its underlying measurement geometry. The actual real illumination and observation directions may e.g. due to manufacturing tolerances deviate (slightly) from the nominal illumination and observation directions.
- spectrum direction is to be understood as the nominal observation direction mirrored on the surface of the (plane) measurement object. A multi-angle colorimeter has several real illumination directions (and possibly several real viewing directions as well).
- Measurement level is understood to mean a plane passing through the device standard and all directions of illumination and the direction (s) of observation as well as the specular direction. All real and nominal angle specifications refer to directions lying within the measuring plane.
- the color measuring device is largely similar to that in the documents mentioned above EP 2 703 789 A1 and EP 2 728 342 A1 disclosed devices. It comprises a housing which accommodates a measuring arrangement and an electronic control. At the front of the housing, a display device is provided. Furthermore, control elements are arranged on the upper side of the housing. On the side of the housing is a Interface (preferably USB) for connecting the device to an external computer. On the underside, the housing has a measuring opening through which illumination light can exit from the interior of the housing and, conversely, measuring light can enter from outside into the housing interior (cf. Fig. 1 of the EP 2 728 342 A1 ).
- the measuring arrangement designated MA as a whole, comprises a sheet body 11 fixed in the housing, in which all the optical or photoelectric components of the measuring arrangement MA are arranged in the exemplary embodiment shown by four continuous chambers 12, 13, 14 and 15.
- these components consist of three illumination arrangements 20, 30 and 40 and an Aufpickan extract 50 with a spectrometer 53 to which the measuring light via a lens 51 and a light guide 52 is supplied.
- the spectrometer 53 itself is located outside the chamber 15.
- the three illumination arrangements 20, 30 and 40 are each assigned a lens 21, 31 and 41, respectively.
- the three illumination arrangements 20, 30 and 40 which typically each have a light source comprising at least one or more light-emitting diodes with different emission spectra, illuminate via the associated lenses 21, 31 and 41 a measurement spot MF on a measurement object MO with parallel bundles of rays.
- the illumination arrangements 20, 30 and 40 are each aligned below a real illumination direction 2, 3 or 4, these real illumination directions ideally coinciding with the given by the underlying measurement geometry nominal illumination directions, in practice, however, due to manufacturing tolerances (usually very small but not negligible) deviation from the nominal illumination directions.
- the Aufpickan himself is aligned under a real observation direction 5, which also ideally coincides with the given by the underlying measurement geometry nominal observation direction, in practice, however, due to manufacturing tolerances (usually very small but not negligible) deviation from the nominal observation direction.
- the entire measuring arrangement MA is made such that the illumination directions and the observation direction are located in a common measuring plane, which also contains a device standard designated 0. Furthermore, the measurement level also contains a specular 1 direction, away from the as Reference direction conventionally the angular positions of the observation directions 2, 3 and 4 and the observation direction 5 are measured.
- the exemplary embodiment illustrated has a measuring geometry in which the three nominal observation directions (not shown) extend at an angle of 15 °, 45 ° or 110 ° to the specular direction 1, the second nominal illumination direction coinciding with the device normal 0.
- the (also not shown) nominal observation direction runs in the illustrated embodiment at an angle of 90 ° to the specular direction. 1
- the lenses 21, 31, 41 and 51 may also be omitted in whole or in part. Similarly, the illumination with parallel light is not mandatory.
- the measuring arrangement MA can also have fewer or more illumination arrangements as well as more than one pick-up arrangement, such as that in the document EP 2 728 342 A1 described colorimeter is the case.
- the illumination and observation beam paths are rectilinear.
- the lighting arrangements 20, 30 and 40 are controlled by a computer-based controller 100 ( Fig. 2 ).
- the latter also controls the picking arrangement 50 or its spectrometer 53 and processes its measuring signals.
- the controller 100 may display measurement results on the display device and receive operator commands from the operators. Furthermore, it can communicate with an external computer PC via the mentioned interface, in particular transmit measured data and accept commands and control data. Further details are related below Fig. 2 explained.
- the colorimeter Before the colorimeter is ready for use, it is first calibrated in a manner known per se on the basis of dark measurements and measurements on a white tile (Weiss reference). The measurements on the white tile are carried out separately for each lighting arrangement and Aufpickan nie.
- the measuring procedure is carried out in principle in such a way that a complete spectrum with a plurality of reference points (wavelength ranges of, for example, 10... 20 nm) is provided separately for each illumination channel (illumination arrangements 20, 30, 40) by means of the picking arrangement 50 Width) over the wavelength range of interest (mostly visible spectrum plus near UV).
- the spectrometer 53 is activated by the controller 100 for a certain time window (set in readiness for measurement) and the light source of the respective lighting arrangement is activated or switched on within this time window for a certain period of time.
- the time window corresponds to the integration time of the spectrometer.
- the already mentioned computer-based control 100 comprises as the most important functional units a microcontroller 110, a hardware control stage 120, a spectrometer control stage 130, a program or firmware memory 140, a data memory 150, a USB interface 160, control elements 170 and a display arrangement 180 in which the microcontroller 110 coordinates and controls the whole and is also responsible for communication with an external computer PC connected via the USB interface 160.
- the hardware control stage 120 controls the lighting arrangements 20, 30, 40, ie switches the light sources contained in these on or off.
- the hardware control stage 120 also controls a drive 71 arranged in the color measuring device, with which a white tile 70, likewise provided in the color measuring device, can be introduced into the measuring beam path of the color measuring device or removed therefrom.
- the spectrometer control stage 130 activates the spectrometer 53 and reads out the measurement data generated by it, processes it and converts it into digital measurement signals (spectral reflection factors).
- the (non-volatile) program memory 140 contains the firmware or software required for control and data preparation. If the colorimeter is designed as a peripheral for a higher-level computer, the programs for the control and the data processing can alternatively or completely also run on the external computer.
- the (non-volatile) data memory 150 essentially contains device-specific parameters, such as e.g. Integration times for the spectrometer and activation time durations for the individual lighting arrangements as well as further data required for the color measurement or correction method described below.
- the present invention is not concerned with the fundamental measurement technology as such and the evaluation of the measurement results, but with the problem of falsification of the measurement results caused by alignment or angle errors, in particular of the illumination arrangements (compared to an ideal device with exactly nominally aligned illumination and observation directions). , In the following, it is pointed to or to the inventive elimination or compensation of such measurement distortions on the basis of Figures 3-6 discussed in more detail. It is assumed that the colorimeter is already dark and white calibrated.
- P is an effect varnish layer in which a flake F is located. The orientation of the flake F or the flak normal is such that the light entering at the angle of incidence emerges speculatively in the direction of observation.
- this transformation into the flake angle space is now used as a starting point for the correction of the measured value distortions caused by angular errors. It is assumed that the actual illumination directions of the illumination arrangements and the real observation direction of the pickup arrangement (or in the case of multiple pickup arrangements the real observation directions) of the colorimeter used are precisely known. These real illumination and observation directions of the concrete colorimeter may be e.g. be measured by the manufacturer, with the corresponding data are stored in the colorimeter. However, the real lighting and observation directions of the concrete color measuring device can also be measured and stored by the user by means of methods known per se.
- a set of spectral reflection factors is measured with the colorimeter on the measurement object to be measured, ie one spectrum among all (pairwise) combinations of real ones Lighting and observation directions.
- the values obtained are referred to as spectral raw data R i ( ⁇ ), where the index i stands for a specific pairwise combination of real illumination and observation directions.
- the evaluation of the reflection factor can be carried out for each wavelength or for a subset of wavelengths. Alternatively, for a suitable representation of the entire reflection spectrum (eg the mean values over all wavelengths) for each specific combination i of real illumination and observation directions one each the intensity of the Measuring light representing real brightness reflection factor R ( ⁇ ri ).
- the color measurement method according to the invention is based on the physically based assumption that the intensity of the light emanating from a particular illumination arrangement, measured by a pick-up arrangement, changes continuously with a change in the difference between the illumination and observation directions. Consequently, a continuous parametric model of the intensity profile over the illumination and observation directions is formed from all the real brightness reflection factors and the associated real illumination and observation directions by fitting.
- This model is referred to below as a correction model or correction function.
- the first coordinate of the correction function is given by the illumination and observation directions, and the second coordinate represents the intensities measured under these illumination and observation directions.
- the correction function clearly assigns a (brightness) reflection factor to each combination of illumination direction and observation direction. Using the correction function and the residual between given points or real brightness reflection factors and the correction function, a nominal brightness reflection factor is then unambiguously assigned to each combination of nominal illumination direction and nominal observation direction within the definition range of the correction function.
- the first coordinate that is, the argument of the correction function
- the Flake angle space by the Flakenormalen angle defines ⁇ .
- the aspecular angle can be used. The aspecular angle is defined in air and is calculated for a measurement geometry from the angular difference of the observation direction to the direction of the specular reflection of the illumination.
- a corresponding real flank normal angle ⁇ ri is calculated.
- the refractive index n 2 of the measurement object is included in this calculation and would therefore have to be known or measured.
- the refractive index is about 1.5.
- the real Flakenormalen angle ⁇ ri but also the manufacturer or before the actual color measurement can be determined and stored in the colorimeter.
- Each measured (or calculated from the measurements) real brightness reflection factor R ( ⁇ ri ) is assigned to the corresponding calculated (or stored) real Flakenormalen angle ⁇ ri .
- This assignment is in Fig. 4 shown graphically, wherein the unmarked crosses represent the individual real Flakenormalen angle and their associated brightness reflection factors.
- the Fig. 4 represents the real brightness reflection factors in the flake angle space.
- a correction function K ( ⁇ ) is determined from the real brightness reflection factors R ( ⁇ ri ) and the associated real flank normal angle ⁇ ri .
- the determination or adaptation of the correction function takes place according to any compensation method known per se so that it agrees as well as possible with the support points given by the real brightness reflection factors.
- the correction of the raw data is then carried out (in several steps).
- a corresponding nominal flange normal angle ⁇ ni is calculated.
- the refractive index n 2 of the measurement object enters again and would therefore be measured.
- a value of 1.5 can also be assumed here with sufficient accuracy for practice. Under these conditions, the nominal Flakenormalen angle ⁇ ni could already be determined by the manufacturer and stored in the colorimeter.
- a nominal brightness reflection factor R ( ⁇ ni ) is calculated from each real brightness reflection factor R ( ⁇ ri ).
- the Fig. 5 illustrates this.
- the expression [R ( ⁇ ri ) - K ( ⁇ ri )] represents the residual between the respective real brightness reflection factor R ( ⁇ ri ) and the correction model or the correction function K ( ⁇ ).
- Fig. 6 the most important steps of the color measuring method according to the invention are again summarized in block schematic form.
- the individual process steps are designated 210-280.
- Method step 210 may, as explained above, also take place on the manufacturer side or outside the actual color measurement method carried out by the user.
- the method step 230 can take place at any point before the method step 250.
- method step 260 may occur at any point prior to method step 270.
- the measured values and other data processing or calculating process steps 220-280 are carried out under the control of the computer-based controller 100 of the colorimeter according to the invention.
- the programs required for this purpose are stored in the software or firmware memory 140 of the controller and are executed by the microcontroller 110.
- the color measuring device according to the invention therefore essentially differs from known devices of this type in that it is designed or programmed to carry out the described steps of the method according to the invention.
- the color measurement method according to the invention is based on a basic physical concept, namely the knowledge of the real illumination and observation directions the measuring channels of the measuring device and the correction of the (spectral) reflection measured values of the measurement channels based on the information of the real illumination and observation directions and the nominal illumination and observation directions given by the measurement geometry and on a uniform correction model for all measurement geometries, which correction model is based on the flake angles , This leads to a systematic and plausible measurement correction.
- the measured data are corrected with regard to measured value distortions caused by angular errors in such a way that they practically coincide exactly with the measured data recorded by an ideal color measuring device (same measuring geometry), ie without any angular errors.
- the thus corrected measurement data thus correspond to those measurement data which would have been measured if the real illumination and observation directions matched exactly.
- the method according to the invention also permits a relative correction which matches the measured data to that of another real, angle-error-prone target color measuring device (same measuring geometry).
- the nominal illumination and observation directions of the device according to the invention are replaced by the (slightly misaligned) real illumination and observation directions of the target colorimeter. This relative correction is e.g.
- the measuring arrangement MA can also be designed vice versa with respect to lighting and observation arrangements. This means in the specific case that the illumination of the measurement object would only take place under at least one defined illumination direction and for the detection of the reflected measurement light by means of three (or more) pickup arrangements under three or more different observation directions. Of course, any combination of one or more lighting arrangements and one or more Aufpickan glovesen are possible.
- the color measurement method according to the invention shows its strengths in particular in multi-angle measurements, where the measurement object is illuminated with a larger number of illumination arrangements under different illumination directions and the reflected measurement light is measured by two or more pickup arrangements under different observation directions.
- the inventive use of the uniform correction method for all measurement geometries increases the number of effective measurement values for the correction model, which enables improved interpolation of the data and increases the accuracy.
